Leading MySQL DBaaS Providers Rely on Percona Open Source Software

DURHAM, North Carolina – Dec. 3, 2014 – Percona, the company that makes MySQL and OpenStack faster and more reliable, today announced that Percona XtraDB Cluster is now available as a click-to-deploy solution on the Google Cloud Platform. The solution makes it simple and easy to set up and configure a multi-master MySQL cluster on Google Compute Engine. Google Cloud Platform is the latest MySQL database-as-a-service (DBaaS) provider to adopt Percona open source software. Other notable DBaaS users of Percona open source software include Rackspace Cloud Databases and HP Cloud Platform Services. Percona XtraDB Cluster is also widely adopted for OpenStack deployments and is certified for the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHEL OSP) and is included in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the two leading Linux platforms for OpenStack. Companies can test the click-to-deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster solution on Google Compute Engine for free using the Google Cloud free trial.

Percona XtraDB Cluster combines Percona Server, an advanced, open source drop-in replacement for MySQL, with Galera replication software. The click-to-deploy option on Google Compute Engine enables developers to launch a preconfigured and ready-to-use multi-master MySQL cluster with just a few mouse clicks, while obtaining a number of performance, scalability and diagnostic improvements compared to MySQL® Community Edition. Percona software is open source and compatible with existing MySQL environments.

Highlights

The Google Compute Engine click-to-deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster solution also includes Percona Toolkit, a set of command-line tools for administering MySQL, giving developers more options for MySQL clustering.

Rackspace offers Percona Server on its Cloud Databases DBaaS product.

The HP Cloud Platform Services runs its public cloud on OpenStack, which uses Percona Server as the database server.
